Cleveland Browns head coach Mike Pettine talked to his partying rookie quarterback about the controversial photo and said Johnny Manziel responded positively, according to Mary Kay Cabot's report for Cleveland.com.

"I don't want to get into a (public) discussion of every picture that comes out, but I talked to him about it,'' Pettine told Cleveland.com. "We anticipate this will quiet down once the season starts. As committed as Johnny is to football, this stuff should not be an issue once camp gets underway.''

Manziel is expected to report Wednesday with the rest of the rookies, and Pettine said Manziel's nightlife will be a concern only if it continues once camp opens -- although ESPN reported earlier in the summer that Manziel's partying had become a concern within the organization and he was told by team officials to tone down the frolicking when social-media posts kept chronicling his after-hours behavior.

In one video posted on Instagram, Manziel -- who appears drunk -- shouts an obscenity into a stack of money that he pretends is a phone. Pettine said he believed the video was old, although that apparently didn't come up in the conversation about the bill-rolling.

Brian Hoyer will begin camp as the Browns' No. 1 quarterback, but Pettine said Manziel will have a chance to win the starting job.

"I see it as open,'' Pettine said. "Brian will be the guy there day one of practice. But we're going to let them compete as best we can. We don't want to overtax the offensive line and we want to mix and match the groups and we're going to have a plan for it. We are going to have a sense of when we want to name the starter.

"We might know very quickly or we might take some time. There are some things open. We might let each one of them start a preseason game and we think they'll both get some good reps in front of a big crowd at the Family Day (Aug. 2 at the University of Akron).''

The trick to the quarterback battle, Pettine said, is knowing when to make the call.

"We're going to have a meeting with [offensive coordinator] Kyle [Shanahan] and [quarterbacks coach] Dowell [Loggains], and we're going to look at that whole situation and I tasked them over the summer to give it some thought on how we handle to the reps,'' Pettine said. "We really need to find that sweet spot of [when to name the starter]. I don't want it to go on forever and then have neither one of them ready for the opener, and there's no chemistry built with the offense. I also don't want it to be over before it starts and do it too soon.''
